Chapter 177 It's all thanks to my kind heart back then, isn't it?
Xue Lan was caught off guard by her inner demons' compromise.
The girl's voice held an unusual hint of confusion: "Why did you stop fighting? Was it because you couldn't win?"
The inner demon knew that he and Xue Lan were originally one, one aspect of the Wolf King who once dominated the entire Yuanming Upper Realm.
Living together as people who are too similar is like having sharp blades facing each other head-on; their thorns are equally piercing and equally uncomfortable.
Don't be fooled by their seemingly good relationship now; secretly they wish the other would disappear immediately.
"If I were gone, with your current soul strength, you would probably be sucked directly into the River of Time when you are attacked by the Sun-Tracing Mirror."
The smile on the girl's face vanished instantly within her mind. Xue Lan whispered, completely unconcerned that the inner demon could hear her:
"This is such a nuisance! I wish I could just annihilate you!"
"You don't have much time left, so stop daydreaming here," the inner demon said coldly.
Xue Lan nodded.
The inner demon was originally her celestial soul. If Xue Lan directly sealed her into his sea of consciousness and then used his earth soul as a cover, he might be able to deceive Ling Yuanzi.
It's this earth spirit... Xue Lan flicked his sleeves, revealing a rare look of distress.
"You hold off my master for now, I'm going to see the Earth Soul."
Below the central peak of the Garan Secret Realm lie tens of thousands of caves, which Lu Feng guessed were the nests of those mist-lurking creatures. They were so densely packed that they had practically hollowed out the entire foot of the mountain.
He walked through the cave, holding Xue Tong, who was still unconscious, in his arms.
The little girl's sparkling pink crystal hairpin tassels swayed gently in her hair, and her sleeping face was adorable, showing no signs of waking up.
Behind the young man followed those rogue cultivators with low cultivation levels. They had all lost their composure in the previous upheaval, had no opinions of their own, and could only blindly follow Lu Feng, who was at the front.
Among these rogue cultivators, the mother and daughter from the crow clan seemed out of place. The mother deliberately slowed down and finally hid in a cave at a bend in the road.
"Mother..." The little girl in her arms had barely opened her mouth when her mother covered it. Only after the main group had completely disappeared from sight did the woman look at her daughter and ask with utmost seriousness:
“Zhi’er, when you looked at that… that pretty lady before, you really saw that she had three…”
Before her mother could finish speaking, the little girl happily exclaimed, "Yes, Mother, I met two beautiful older sisters and a little sister who is a little younger than me!"
The woman's face turned deathly pale. She cupped her daughter's small face in her hands and looked into her pure, clear eyes.
Zhi'er didn't know why her mother was so sad. She only knew that after she finished speaking, a tear of her mother fell from her palm.
"Mother!"
The woman wiped away her tears and looked at her daughter earnestly, saying, "Zhi'er, after we get out this time, promise your mother something, okay?"
The little girl nodded blankly, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
"From this day forward, no one is allowed to probe into another person's soul realm, no matter when or where!"
The little girl nodded: "Zhi'er wants to stay with Mother forever, and Zhi'er won't do anything that Mother doesn't like."
The woman could no longer resist and pulled her obedient daughter into her arms.
After Xue Lan's consciousness returned, the girl in gray clothes arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain and couldn't help but say one more thing to the inner demon who was being struck by lightning:
"Do you remember that half-demon?"
While maintaining the giant wolf behind him, the inner demon also had to be wary of Ling Yuanzi's sudden attack. The resentment in his tone was enough to create another demon, and he couldn't be bothered to respond to Xue Lan.
Xue Lan smiled and continued, "That half-demon girl from the Crow Clan said that we two are isolated souls!"
As the girl gently waved her sleeve, the snow-capped mountain in front of her suddenly split open, revealing a huge cave inside.
In the very center of the cave was a piece of crystal-clear ice.
Sealed within the ice was a little girl in tattered clothes.
"Thank goodness I was kind-hearted back then, wasn't I? I didn't go so far as to kill them all."
The inner demon did not go along with Xue Lan, its voice filled with blatant sarcasm: "I don't know if it's out of kindness or fear of being noticed by the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect."
Xue Lan crossed her arms and stared at the little girl in the ice in front of her, remaining motionless for a long time.
The lightning outside had stopped, and the inner demon watched as the giant wolf's figure disappeared behind him.
She glanced at Ling Yuanzi, who had already raised his immortal sword, and then at Xue Lan, who remained motionless in her sea of consciousness.
"Your master has started to make his move, hurry up!"
It's no wonder the inner demon was so impatient; the person opposite seemed about to kill him, and he was worried that he might not be able to hold out against Ling Yuanzi for too long.
No matter how he dies later, it will all seem very fake!
Upon hearing Xue Lan's words, Xue Lan finally began to move slowly. She felt that she had been experiencing some problems ever since she regained her memories.
I get lost in thought when I look at something.
Damn it!
The tip of Ling Yuanzi's sword suddenly appeared before her eyes, and the inner demon felt unprecedented pressure. The girl took several steps back, but the demonic energy in front of her remained an invisible barrier, blocking most of Ling Yuanzi's sword energy.
Within her sea of consciousness, Xue Lan raised her hand and pressed it against the ice block. A ball of warm golden light emanated from her palm, connecting with the little girl within.
The little girl in front of her was a wisp of a beggar's soul left behind when she possessed the body.
Xue Lan's soul state is different from that of a normal person. While a normal person's three souls are mixed together, Xue Lan's are distinct, looking like three independent individuals.
Xue Lan gave a faint smile!
A light gray aura began to ripple in concentric circles.
The girl slowly spoke: "The time has come!"
The inner demon outside was indeed highly skilled in swordsmanship, but the way of the sword demands too much from one's mental state. She was essentially a mentally broken killer. She was gradually finding it difficult to fight Ling Yuanzi, and hearing Xue Lan's words felt like a pardon.
The girl's originally fierce moves faltered as the tip of Ren Yiling Yuanzi's sword pierced the continuous stream of demonic energy behind her.
A mournful howl echoed from within the Garan Secret Realm. Ling Yuanzi saw a massive mass of pure, almost supernatural demonic energy emerge from the girl's body, transforming into a ferocious demonic beast before him.
At the same time, the inner demon returned to Xue Lan's sea of consciousness and plunged into the cave.
After Xue Lan's body lost its soul, it collapsed like a water bag.
Xue Lan sighed, and the mountain peak that had split in two before her began to slowly close up. The girl resignedly began to cast various concealment formations on it, and finally affixed a seal of the Sun-Tracing Mirror.
This directly reverses the time above to fifteen minutes ago.
I racked my brains to ensure there were no mistakes.
